BC's is a whopping 5 credits. Maybe I should have gone to W&M, where LRW is pass/fail, though it is 2 years long!

It's the bane of my existence. It lures you away from the classes where the bulk of the credits are.

I'm working on a memo right now and I feel like a kid poking at his peas. Writing about a sentence an hour.

I had this problem to start the semester. We had a memo due this past week. I didn't start it until we got back to school and it literally forced me to read for one lecture at a time for my 4 other classes. To date, I haven't been able to crack a supplement or even think about outlining all because of LW.

Usually I am pretty good about blowing it off but I got sick and got behind and it makes it tough to get out from under it.

Yeah, we have a brief assigned now and the research for that has taken up pretty much all of the time I would use for outlining.

Starting March 1st I'm raging

Damn, that's early brah.

I think I'm gonna go into finals mode spring break (March 20th or thereabouts?). With 4 classes, that finals period is fucking compact as shit. I think I have ONE day between property and con law. KILL ME NOW.

Speaking of Con Law... I got a glimpse at one of my professors past essay questions. I had heard he is big on knowing the case holdings, the reasoning behind the case, the the progeny that follows, and what cases overrules other cases. Seemed easy enough until I saw this:

Discuss the major United States Supreme Court dealing with race from Dred Scott to the present, explaining clearly the issues addressed, the holdings of the cases, and indicate clearly the current state of the law.
